Managing Excess Fat | Blive Health Care
Excess fat, often referred to as obesity or overweight, occurs when the body stores more fat than is necessary for healthy functioning. While a certain amount of body fat is essential for energy storage, hormone regulation, insulation, and protection of vital organs, an excess can disrupt normal bodily processes and lead to a wide range of health complications. One of the most concerning forms of excess fat is visceral fat, which accumulates around internal organs such as the liver, pancreas, and intestines. Unlike subcutaneous fat, which lies just beneath the skin, visceral fat is metabolically active and can interfere with hormonal balance, insulin function, and cardiovascular health.
The consequences of excess fat extend beyond appearance. Individuals with high levels of body fat are at increased risk for chronic conditions such as heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, fatty liver disease, and joint problems caused by added stress on bones and ligaments. Excess fat can also affect respiratory function, contribute to sleep apnea, and negatively impact overall mobility and quality of life. Moreover, obesity often carries psychological and social challenges, including low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression, which can further complicate health management.
At Blive Health Care, we recognize that managing excess fat requires a holistic and personalized approach. This includes assessing individual body composition, evaluating lifestyle factors, and designing tailored strategies for weight management, nutritional balance, and physical activity. By focusing on sustainable lifestyle changes, medical guidance when necessary, and continuous monitoring, our goal is to help patients achieve a healthier body composition, reduce health risks, and improve overall well-being.
